bullldog Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Alot are going to say they didn't like cause the change you from your swing to the one they teach. But for me it worked well. I'm a tech & fundamentals guy. I liked the instant video feedback. If it weren't for the back injury I would have stuck with it longer. Be for warned, it doesn't happen overnight. But it greatly improved my game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfspy_CG2 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Here is a thread from last year that I and several others chimed in on. As you will read, I was very interested in it, but just felt it was a bit too expensive. they offered some good holiday lesson packages, I strongly considered doing one of them that seemed like a good value. https://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/18701-golftec/?hl=golftec G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Theoo Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I've been a golftec student since 2013 and have enjoyed it very much. It does take some time to get used to the swing changes but I felt it's been worth it.

Brian A Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I will be starting with them in February. (Still on the IR u til then) I can tell you I went to a free Ping fitting there and the guy I will be getting my lessons from identified flaws in my swing and told me how to correct them.

McaseyM Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I've had a GolfTec evaluation, lessons and A fitting and had great success. The instant video feedback is awesome, just worked really well for me. Honestly, check Groupon discounts, as I got a initial swing eval For around $30-$40, then after that I was able to buy a package of lessons which i spread out over 3-4 months. For me the key was going in to the center in between lessons to use the video feedback. I know I'm a high capper ( for now), but I was terrible before, shooting in the 120s, now in the 90s..... and improving Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy What's in my bag: Driver : F9 10.5, Fujikura Speeder 757 TR Fairway F9 15.5° Aldila Rogue White 80X Hybrid: King F7 18° KBS Tour PROTO Hybrid 95 S+ Irons: z585 4i - 6i, z785 7i-PW, Nippon Modus 120X Wedges: CBX 50.11, 55.11, 60.10 TT DG S400 Black Putter: Honey Badger 34" Ball: Q-Star Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GROWLR Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I started lessons with GolfTec this past October. Have one lesson about every week. In my case I'm glad they're teaching me their swing because I have never had any meaningful swing instruction. I too like the immediate video feedback as well as the data you get about every swing. I like that my instructor is building a swing and not just putting a bandaid on what I came in with. Looking forward to my club fitting as well as I'm planning on getting new clubs this spring.

Nutone67 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I have taken lessons at Golftec for over a year. After having had lessons in group setting as well as with an individual pro, I liked the detailed focus on how to swing and the positions you should be in. By far the most helpful aspect to me is the live video during practice as the instant feedback helps with the feel vs real that you experience when making changes. It allows you to be able to check that you are implementing the correct changes to your swing without your instructor. I found the price to also be competitive with lessons at the courses near me. The indoor practice is also a bonus for those in colder winter climates or very hot summer climates. There is, however, no secret. It's good instruction with a lot of practice no matter where you choose to take lessons.

drewneddy Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Lots of good data and analysis available to the student. My only knock against them is they seem like they have a "cookie cutter swing" that all their pros teach. Even have their own lingo when referring to critical point throughout the swing. But every swing is on video from several angles. That in itself, is priceless. They give you a username and password so you can log on their website and review each swing you made during the session. Their lesson is also available through their online portal. So it's basically a videotape of your lesson.

tony@CIC Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I'm not surprised at your cookie cutter comment. That's typical of any franchise - drive consistency through uniformity. Imagine if you walked into a McDonald's and asked for a hamburger 'your way'. I personally haven't used golftec but have friends that do some like them and some don't. We have an excellent instructor at our club, plus one of the benefits is having him go out on the course with you. My wife and I did that last fall and it was a great experience especially for her (focus was on course management). However, I'm intrigued by their (golftec) fitting expertise and might use them for that - the location that's closest to us was ranked in the top fitters across the country.

dhartmann34 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I never had any luck there. I hated the small enclosures inside. I couldn't get used to all the technology. I never felt like my instructor was really focused on my and my progress. He never remembered what we were working on. But there were just so many different concepts and a lot of information. Not something I'd do again or recommend.

Kinger866 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I have been a GolfTec student for roughly 16 months. I have had a lot of success. The results you see are a direct result of what you put in (DUH), meaning, if you only utilize the center for the weekly lesson and small amount of practice you will only see small improvements. I have recommended the center to multiple friends/playing partners and i have seen their improvement and satisfaction as well. I purchased a full membership and it ends up costing me about $140 a month. For that amount I get unlimited use of the facility, 2 hours of instruction, and other small perks that come along. I have had a great instructor and look forward to progressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRedMan Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I know a couple of excellent instructors who used to work there. My cousin bought a package with them and didn't realize any benefits, but he's a guy who needs a TPI based program (double a pitcher with rotator cuff issues and what I call “one gear†only). I think the most important thing is to find an instructor who would answer this question with “Noâ€, unequivocally...question being ‘If you can't help me will you accept my money?'

tony@CIC Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I think the golftec situation sounds like it's a consistently issue across the franchise.

Chadly Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I took lessons at a golftec for a season. Great experience but I attribute that more to the instructor than anything specific to golftec as a company. They have a very solid sales process which may turn some people off, me I was fine with it. I think the biggest advantage is they won't sell you just one lesson. You do a package so that you can lay out a clear path of what you want to accomplish and the steps you are going to take to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
